a Non-uniform solid growth stress drives spatial variation in cell volume via gap junction-mediated ion flow. b Spatial variation in cell volume is increased both by high cell–cell ion transport and high solid growth stress. GJ permeability factor g scales the GJ permeability with ωg=gωg and Lp,g=gLp,g.
